please don't talk about me when i'm gone

oh please

don't talk about me when i'm gone

although our friendship ceases from now on

hey carmen

if you can't say anything real nice

it's better not to talk at all

that's my advice

we are parting

you go your way

i'll go mine

it's best that we do

here's a little kiss

i hope that this brings lots of love to you

makes no difference how i carry on

'cause baby i know you'd better not talk about me when i'm gone
